Su Hongxing was stunned, again, it was six years ago.

“What exactly happened six years ago? Back then, you told me I was too young to ask questions that shouldn’t be asked. Now that Mr. Xiao has passed away, aren’t you willing to tell me the truth? Did Zhou Luhe do something excessive to you?” Su Hongxing rushed to Xiao Ji, but was met with Xiao Ji’s bloodshot eyes, hard as iron.

Xiao Ji grabbed Su Hongxing’s hand and pulled her into his arms: “Xingxing, stop asking, when the time comes, I’ll tell you, but not now.”

He had barely made it to this day, but his father was no more. At that moment, he was lost, feeling as though he could no longer find a path forward.

“Alright, I won’t ask, until the day you’re ready to tell me.” Su Hongxing lightly patted Xiao Ji’s shoulder and said softly, “Mrs. Xiao is unconscious due to shock, you can’t collapse. You’re Mr. Xiao’s pride; the funeral arrangements still need you.”

“I know. I just haven’t hugged you for a long time, let me hold you for a while, and then I’ll be okay.” Xiao Ji hugged Su Hongxing tighter.

As long as she was there, everything would get better.

As Xiao Ji said, his weakness lasted only for a while. Before long, Xiao Ji returned to normal, calmly handling the aftermath of Mr. Xiao’s passing.

This reminded Su Hongxing of Xiao Ji’s lost demeanour after the accident involving Mr. Xiao. Xiao Ji was 22 then, and 28 now, transforming from an inexperienced boy into a mature and charming man.

Upon hearing of Mr. Xiao’s death, Ye Qilan went to the hospital and saw Su Hongxing and Xiao Ji handling procedures from a distance.

As Xiao Ji turned his head, he saw Ye Qilan standing not far away.

The gazes of the two men intersected in the air.

Su Hongxing felt something unusual behind her, she turned her head and saw Ye Qilan had arrived.

She could somewhat sense the tension between Ye Qilan and Xiao Ji.

“Xingxing, you go accompany mom in the ward first. I have something to discuss with Mr. Ye.” Xiao Ji spoke to Su Hongxing, but his eyes remained on Ye Qilan.

Su Hongxing looked back and forth at the two men, but finally decided to go into the ward.

After she entered the ward, she felt a little uneasy. She quietly cracked open the door, only to see Ye Qilan and Xiao Ji walking toward the fire exit one after another…

When no third party was present, Xiao Ji broke the silence: “Ye Qilan, why are you here?”

Even though Xiao Ji didn’t show his emotions, Ye Qilan could still feel the hostility from Xiao Ji.

“I’m here to accompany Su Hongxing.” Ye Qilan replied in a deep voice.

In the end, he was just not comfortable leaving Su Hongxing and Xiao Ji alone together. He wasn’t afraid of Xiao Ji’s schemes, but he was afraid of Xiao Ji swaying Su Hongxing.

“If she’s willing to go with you, you can take her away. But we, the Xiao family, do not welcome you, Ye Qilan.” After saying this, Xiao Ji turned and walked away.

Ye Qilan did indeed want to take Su Hongxing away, but how could Su Hongxing possibly leave at a time like this?

Su Hongxing received a call from Ye Qilan, went to the hospital entrance, and saw Ye Qilan leaning against the car door: “Our daughter misses you. When are you coming home?”

Every extra minute Su Hongxing spent with Xiao Ji was torture for him.

“I can’t leave for the time being. Take care of Little Pudding these few days. Also, don’t show up here these few days, Xiao Ji doesn’t like seeing you.” Su Hongxing’s last sentence darkened Ye Qilan’s eyes.

Was Xiao Ji eagerly declaring war on him?

Originally, he didn’t want to cause trouble at this time, but since Xiao Ji had already made a move, why should he sit back and wait for death?
